What amount of compression is best for socks after BBL?

Question

(Also, is thigh high the best option)

Kenneth Hughes, MD · Answer

Plastic surgeon preferences for compression garments and length of time to wear differ.  Ask your PS for post-operative protocols that he/she wants you to follow.  Some of my patients find that Ace bandages work fine as sock compression garments can a bit tight and uncomfortable.  Following a BBL, I typically ask patients to use adjustable garments with multiple bands so that tension can be adjusted and the areas of liposuction are less likely to get a fluid collection. The garments typically do not cover the buttocks.

Rose,Usually a medium compression Jobst type garment is fine (20-30 mmHg).  High calf or thigh high are both good.Dr T
